DJ RIO
Cyril Daniel Makwinja popularly known as DJ Rio is labHeled the youngest DJ in Malawi aged 18 but he started this Disk Joking art when he was very young and has been in the industry for 5 years now. Sometime back, he was nominated in MASO and to him it was unexpected and wonderful. In his speech, his father has inspired him alot and he got him a lot of things for DJ and is proud of that knowing that his father is teaching him to hustle while he is young.
Daniel also does music production but only in his most free times not often. He said he does this just to keep himself busy but his passion is a hundred percent in disk joking. As any other art, he face a lot of challenges like criticism considering also that he is young. Others also pull him down with mocking to say he cannot go anywhere far but this doesn't set him back.
Makwinja's journey has been good, with ups and downs yes, which is normal to him. At some point, he has learnt things the harder way but he is contented with what happens and also yearns for more after he is done with studies. DJ Rio is under Fujie Mikoz's management. He encouraged others to stand their ground no matter how hard things get.
